Albion House at Ramsgate

I booked one of the top floor harbour view rooms for £140 bed & breakfast just the one night. For that price I expected a larger room, it did appear larger in the photos. No wardrobe, just a hanging space on the wall by the bed. I had to use an external phone number to ring reception, no direct phone line from the room, I requested the iron and ironing board which the website gives the impression your room is already equipped with one. It was a cheap travel iron which leaked a bit, and left a minor stain on the top I ironed. No aircon in the room, but there was a fan provided which was noisy, I had the choice on a very warm night … experience a sauna like room or stay a bit cooler but bothered by the noise of the fan. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were too soft, something that many hotels keep making this same mistake on. I was thirsty in the night, but unfortunately the complimentary bottle of water was warm, carbonated (not still). I would have appreciated a small fridge in the room, and the usual bottle of Still (not carbonated) water. Lastly, annoyingly the bathroom door is fitted with a self closer, meaning the door was always in a closed position, as the room was hot from the day’s sun, I had to wedge the door open to get some cooler air. The staff were friendly and helpful thankfully, and breakfast was decent. I personally wouldn’t stay here again, at £140 a night, although it may be the going rate, The Albion should make some improvements to provide a better customer experience.

Booked a last minute, one night stay at this beautiful hotel. Gorgeous, clean and hugely spacious rooms, bed and pillows so comfortable. Very warm and friendly welcome at reception with the lovely lady escorting us to our rooms. Hotel itself is beautifully located with a fantastic view of the sea. Breakfast was delicious and lovely friendly staff. A real gem of a hotel and will definitely return. The only little thing would be the room requires a touch up with paint in some places but would not put off booking again. Highly recommend. Thank you!
